| subject: | Ramdrive in OS/2? |
-=> Quoting Gary Snyder to John Colapietro <=- JC> * In a message originally to Jon Hall, Gary Snyder said: gs> JH> Is there a way to create a RAMdrive in OS/2? gs> You don't need it. JC> I know what a RAM drive for a DOS system is. Why doesn't OS/2 need it???? GS> OS/2 has no memory restrictions for its programs (while DOS has the GS> 640K boundary). Therefore you cannot have a RAMdrive under OS/2, as GS> OS/2 takes up ALL the memory. GS> You may be able to create a 4 meg HPFS partition and make that your GS> "RAMDRIVE" if you really need it. Careful on that one Gary. OS/2 has a VDISK utility which does allow you to set up a RAM drive. I have never had any occasion to use one but it is available. Regards, Stu Davis ...
